Life-Size Animatronic Dinosaurs

Open through February 18, 2018

Encounter the 46-foot T-Rex and nine new life-size animatronic dinosaurs along the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary’s nature trails at the 12th annual Dinosaurs Live! Life-size Animatronic Dinosaurs exhibit. The exhibit always gives families and friends a fun, educational activity to enjoy together. See the dinosaurs move and hear them roar! Photo op and play area dinosaurs will be available as well. This year, the exhibit also features an outdoor fossil dig. The dinosaur trail is jogging stroller friendly (it is not suitable for strollers with small wheels). Click here for important tips and visitor guidelines. 

Please note that we are unable to animate the dinosaurs when temperatures drop below 45 degrees. 

This exhibit (when it is open--see dates above) is included in general admission and free for Heard Museum members. Not a member? Join today by clicking here.
